For children with oral ulcers, using an oral ulcer patch can help promote healing and is quite effective. Oral ulcers in children are mainly caused by deficiencies in vitamins and trace elements. Therefore, in daily life, make sure children drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and consume fresh fruit juices regularly. Avoid giving children seasoning additives such as chicken powder or monosodium glutamate (MSG), as these may lead to zinc deficiency, which in turn can cause oral ulcers.
